Altova StyleVision Enterprise Edition  Review

Altova StyleVision 2008 Enterprise Edition is a drag-and-drop, visual stylesheet designer for transforming XML and database content into HTML, RTF, PDF, and OOXML/Microsoft Word 2007 output, and creating electronic forms. It is standards compliant and supports XSLT 1.0, XSLT 2.0, XSL:FO, CSS, JavaScript, and all major databases. StyleVision Enterprise Edition is optimized to facilitate single source publishing. In one simple step you can access XML and/or database data, process it, and render it simultaneously in five different eye-catching output formats. It even has a built-in HTML importer that converts an HTML page into an XML file, XSLT stylesheet, and XML Schema. Numerous templates are provided for handling industry standard XML vocabularies such as DITA and DocBook, and you can build your own templates for use with Authentic 2008, Altova's free XML and database content editor. Authentic forms let business users directly access and edit XML documents and/or databases without being exposed to the underlying technology. The visual design paradigm used in StyleVision is so straightforward; you simply drag and drop XML and/or database contents, design elements, and presentation rules into your working design, and you are automatically prompted when additional options exist. You can preview your output or XSL code at any time so you always know how your project is coming along. Stylesheets designed with StyleVision can be based on XML Schemas, DTDs, and database structures, and support business logic validation, complex tables, tables of contents, conditional formatting, date control, and much more. In addition, StyleVision designs are modular to facilitate reuse and collaboration between multiple designers. All these features combine to make Altova StyleVision the ultimate tool for single source, multi-channel publishing. Design with style!
